A shielding system for a physical vapor deposition chamber having a sputter target above the pedestal. The shielding system comprises a pedestal shield attachable to the pedestal and movable therewith. The pedestal shield surrounds and extends outward from the pedestal toward the chamber side or lower walls. The system also comprises a sidewall shield adapted to extend substantially around and within the chamber sidewalls, and downward from an upper portion thereof. The sidewall shield has a lower end extending inward and disposed adjacent the pedestal shield upper portion when the pedestal is in the raised position. The pedestal shield and sidewall shield cooperate, when the pedestal is in the raised position, to prevent line-of-sight deposition transmission from the sputter target to the side and lower walls of the deposition chamber.
